Wireless Networking Research at Berkeley

    One of the most relevant problem of wireless networking, at the moment, is the way you can debug it.
    I quote from 'Unix System Administration Handbook' (3rd edition):
    Debugging a wireless network is also something of a black art, since a wide range of variables come into play when there are problems. In short, wireless is currently a neat toy for homes, small offices, conferences, or the beach, but it's not going to replace wired corporate backbones anytime soon.
    I would like much to know about researchs in this issue of the wireless networking: if you propose a new wireless network model, it's ok, but: how can I debug it...
    I have a dream: wireless networks as easy to debug as RJ45-based Ethernet ones.
